Can we use Ygg Leaf on our enemies

Nope, this item is restricted for this as well. Aiming for test of skills rather than test of items.

I have a suggestion, (For Velox) I think we should prohibit the use of Fullstrip/Nostrip and Assumptio cards during the tournament. This will give more variety to the teams and won't turn some players into a "one man party". For example, if you want to have the advantage of having your opponents stripped, you can choose a Stalker as your partner, or if you want to take in less damage/prevent your equipments from being stripped then you can choose a Priest or a Creator for a partner. This way some jobs won't be left behind.

I thought no one is gonna suggest that and I was thinking about that too. I agree with Ein on this one.

I also agree with Ein on this one, I feel the same way about those cards in a situation like this one it takes away the usefulness of classes and overpowers other classes that have those cards at disposal.

28th march is my birthday... ima spend time with friends and pass night with girl friend. No luck a guesse :(

It shouldn't be just those 3 cards that should be restricted though. I say.. all custom cards should be ban from the tournament. This is a competition about picking the right classes combination and the ability to use those classes, not as much about picking a class that can incorporate as much skills from other classes as possible... imo.

Yes, i agree. But i suggested those cards because they can be easily abused in the tourney. Some customs can be used with out the risk of it being abused, for example Triple Blow card and Improve Concentration card (level 5).

Triple Blow card, as you know we can get 100 pd in Velox, let's say a melee character faced up with a 100 pd enemy, example is a DD Sinx facing up with a 100 pd High Priest, the possibility of the Sinx hitting it with melee is absolutely 0. Yes, you may say that he can use Sprinke Sand, but Sprinkle Sand can be very easily countered, you can even reduce it's damage from 300k to as little as 50k or even less if you know how, same goes to Cutlus and Throw Venom knife isn't used to kill, this is just an example though. Also it takes up a slot in the Accessory meaning the player must sacrifice something to be able to use it. Yes, a Sinx can inflict the curse status by using Throw Venow Knife, but the GMs didn't ban the use of Holy waters in the tourney and also some may choose Priests so they can just bless it.

Level 5 Improve concentration doesn't really give you a huge boost of dex-agi. It's only level 5 so for example you have 750 dex and 750 agi, using it will only give you an additional of 50ish dex/agi.

Eswoo card, it can be annoying at times, but it won't make a person impossible to kill in the tourney, right? A good counter for players that like to run around to stall.

Flying Side Kick card, we all know that this can be a devastating skill when used by a Star Gladiator. However, it's not the same when other classes use it. Why? Simple, cause they don't have the necessary buffs to make it strong. This can be a good counter for people who spam Knock back attacks or a good way to get near an enemy.

Also, I forgot to mention that Kaizel and Frost Joke cards might be a little too much in the tourney too.

Velox pvp event will be epic fail lol... no flee reduction = tank paladin win... my 700hit + phree miss on lav lol, and does bs when it hit. gl guys :)

Changes that were made:



If anybody has problems with that time and date, please let us know.

I fail to see why Kaizel card should be restricted it has a 1800 second cast time for a reason, and also i have only seen 1 Kaizel card being actively used in the server so the owner should have the benefit of being able to use it.

Kaizel's cast time is 5 seconds (Flat cast time, and not affected by DEX), and it lasts for 1800 seconds. One of the reasons that it should be restricted is because a character with high hp or high resist can just sit there and recast it again and again. Wearing an Orleans Armor or Phen card also greatly affects it. At level 7 Kaizel gives you 70% hp when resurrected, not to mention that you also have immunity to attacks for approximately 2-3 seconds, after you cast it. Also characters with high agi or vit and PD will be overpowered, especially on a Paladin. Some soul linkers are also built to outlast other players, and won't you think it would be unfair if you did your best to kill someone and he just resurrects over and over again?

@GM Skyler

Sorry but Im not free on the Chrono tournament date. As I have class on Thursdays and work on Friday and Saturdays, I live in Australia so I wouldn't be avaliable on Wednesday, Thrusday and Friday, US time.

Just to clarify the actual dates, I won't be able to attend on the 25th,26th and the 27th of March Server time.

Hope you guys can do somthing to fit me and my partner in.

I see.
I'm not sure if it's best to change it to sunday, so most likely it's going to stay on friday, unless a majority states that they can't that day.
I thought about having your team's fight the same day as Velox's preliminary rounds. I don't think it's a good idea though... I will talk to Bunny about it.
Thought of other solutions?

We decided to ban the Kaizel skill from the tournament; therefore, it is only natural that the custom card that grants it, is banned as well.

Wouldn't Kaizels cast time promote the use of Profs which have the skill "Cast cancel?"
-edit- Also when you move 1 cell after you been resed by Kaizel the immunity to attacks wear off even though the 2 - 3 seconds arn't up

More time options available! For Chrono teams who can't make it on Friday the 27th (EST) they can choose to participate on Saturday the 28th at 9:00pm EST.

Please edit your team posts to include which time you want to participate in!

Chrono preliminary round times:
Friday, March 27th @11:00pm EST
Saturday, March 28th @9:00pm EST

Velox preliminary round times (unchanged):
Saturday, March 28th @11:00pm EST

Also I would like everyone to sign up as early as possible so I may arrange the tournament match-ups and you guys will know who you're up against sooner!

For Velox: Kaizel card and some others we selected are restricted because we are opting for a show of who can maneuver their characters best with the skills of their class. Custom cards that don't greatly affect the original class or is too exclusive are exempt from this. Also people with custom cards are able to use it in WoE, whereas this tourney is a PvP display outside of WoE so it will be different from WoE PvP.

The date is a probleme to me. Ima be partying with friend firday... and with familly and gf saturday. The event land right on the 2 day i cant be free lolll.
